Overview

• Kickoff is 3pm ET on Wednesday at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, with streaming on Paramount+ in the U.S. and TNT Sports in the U.K.
• PSG travel without Marquinhos, Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, reducing options for Luis Enrique’s reigning European champions.
• Barcelona are set to be without Raphinha, Gavi and goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, with Wojciech Szczęsny expected to start in goal.
• Previews highlight the midfield as the likely hinge, with PSG hoping João Neves, Fabián Ruiz and Vitinha are ready to anchor possession against Pedri and Frenkie de Jong.
• This is the clubs’ 16th European meeting (Barcelona six wins, PSG five, four draws), and analysts predict a close, high-scoring contest with a slight edge to the hosts.
